Setting Date

Hi All,

I need advice. A week ago I received my new Omega SP “ James Bond” model 2220.80 with the co-axial movement. 3 days ago at about 7:55 pm I wind it and set the time (when I opened the box the watch stopped at 11:12 pm or am, I’m not sure so I moved the hour hand backwards to 7:55 pm and then set the date). I wore it in bed and the next morning at about 8 or 9 I noticed that the date has not changed so I adjusted it. The same thing happened again for 2 day. On third day I noticed that the date changes some time in the morning. Am I setting the date correctly? I don’t want to unscrew the crown too many times to damage the gasket on it. And one more thing, do I have to adjust the date for the months that have less than 31 days? I wll post a picture of my Omega later on when I learn how to do it.
Thank you for any advice.

Ted
